who we are

Clockcycle is an independent creator project based in France that publishes short educational videos about technology. Contact: clockcycletech@gmail.com.

scope

This policy covers this website and Clockcycle Publisher, a private, single-user tool that the Clockcycle channel owner uses to publish Clockcycle's own videos to Clockcycle's own accounts and to read the analytics of those accounts. Clockcycle Publisher is not offered to the public and is not used to access anyone else's account.

data accessed by Clockcycle Publisher

Only data belonging to Clockcycle's own accounts, after the owner authorizes access:

• YouTube (YouTube API Services): basic channel information, upload of Clockcycle's videos and their titles, descriptions and settings, and the channel's own analytics (views, watch time, audience retention).
• Instagram (Instagram API): the Clockcycle professional account ID, publishing of Clockcycle's Reels and captions, and the account's own insights.
• TikTok (TikTok for Developers): basic profile information of the Clockcycle account and sending Clockcycle's videos to its TikTok inbox as drafts.
• Discord: messages in Clockcycle's private server, used by the owner to review videos before publication.

how the data is used

Solely to publish Clockcycle's own content and to measure its performance, in order to improve future videos. The data is not used for advertising, profiling, or any other purpose.

storage, sharing and security

• Access tokens and statistics are stored locally on a private device owned and controlled by the Clockcycle owner, in France. Secrets are stored in a file readable only by the owner.
• No data is sold, rented or shared with third parties. Data is only exchanged with the platform it belongs to (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Discord).
• Clockcycle Publisher does not collect any personal data about viewers.

retention and deletion

Video statistics are kept for as long as the channel operates, to compare performance over time. Access tokens are deleted when access is revoked. Access can be revoked at any time:

• Google / YouTube: myaccount.google.com/permissions
• Instagram: Settings → Website permissions → Apps and websites
• TikTok: Settings and privacy → Security → Manage app permissions
